EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both the Fellow Opus and Turin SK40 are semi-automatic espresso grinders aimed at beginner users, with similar price points. The Fellow Opus is priced at $195, while the Turin SK40 has a slightly higher MSRP of $199. Both grinders are designed for novice coffee enthusiasts, making them suitable for those just starting to explore espresso grinding.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs with a diameter of 40mm, ensuring consistent grind size. The Opus has a stepped adjustment mechanism allowing for precise tweaks with a 5-micron scale, while the SK40 features a stepless adjustment enabling more fluid grind size changes on a 1-micron scale. Both models come equipped with single dose hoppers, which tend to enhance freshness by limiting retention and promote better quality in brew, with retention rates below 0.2 grams for both grinders.

Features Comparison

When considering the key features, the Fellow Opus does not have adjustable RPM, operates within a grind range that accommodates everything from pour over to espresso, and allows for swappable burrs. In contrast, the Turin SK40 operates at a fixed RPM of 400, focuses exclusively on espresso grinding, and does not have the capability for burr swapping. These distinctions affect overall versatility and adaptability for future needs as users progress in their espresso-making journey.
